Serializes a given JSON value j to a byte vector using the CBOR (Concise Binary Object Representation) serialization format. CBOR is a binary serialization format which aims to be more compact than JSON itself, yet more efficient to parse. The library uses the following mapping from JSON values types to CBOR types according to the CBOR specification (RFC 7049):
JSON value type | value/range | CBOR type | first byte
--- | --- | --- | ---
null | `null` | Null | 0xF6
boolean | `true` | True | 0xF5
boolean | `false` | False | 0xF4
number_integer | -9223372036854775808..-2147483649 | Negative integer (8 bytes follow) | 0x3B
number_integer | -2147483648..-32769 | Negative integer (4 bytes follow) | 0x3A
number_integer | -32768..-129 | Negative integer (2 bytes follow) | 0x39
number_integer | -128..-25 | Negative integer (1 byte follow) | 0x38
number_integer | -24..-1 | Negative integer | 0x20..0x37
number_integer | 0..23 | Integer | 0x00..0x17
number_integer | 24..255 | Unsigned integer (1 byte follow) | 0x18
number_integer | 256..65535 | Unsigned integer (2 bytes follow) | 0x19
number_integer | 65536..4294967295 | Unsigned integer (4 bytes follow) | 0x1A
number_integer | 4294967296..18446744073709551615 | Unsigned integer (8 bytes follow) | 0x1B
number_unsigned | 0..23 | Integer | 0x00..0x17
number_unsigned | 24..255 | Unsigned integer (1 byte follow) | 0x18
number_unsigned | 256..65535 | Unsigned integer (2 bytes follow) | 0x19
number_unsigned | 65536..4294967295 | Unsigned integer (4 bytes follow) | 0x1A
number_unsigned | 4294967296..18446744073709551615 | Unsigned integer (8 bytes follow) | 0x1B
number_float | any value representable by a float | Single-Precision Float | 0xFA
number_float | any value NOT representable by a float | Double-Precision Float | 0xFB
string | length: 0..23 | UTF-8 string | 0x60..0x77
string | length: 23..255 | UTF-8 string (1 byte follow) | 0x78

  Note The mapping is complete in the sense that any JSON value type can be converted to a CBOR value. If NaN or Infinity are stored inside a JSON number, they are serialized properly. This behavior differs from the dump() function which serializes NaN or Infinity to `null`. The following CBOR types are not used in the conversion: UTF-8 strings terminated by "break" (0x7F) arrays terminated by "break" (0x9F) maps terminated by "break" (0xBF) byte strings terminated by "break" (0x5F) date/time (0xC0..0xC1) bignum (0xC2..0xC3) decimal fraction (0xC4) bigfloat (0xC5) tagged items (0xC6..0xD4, 0xD8..0xDB) expected conversions (0xD5..0xD7) simple values (0xE0..0xF3, 0xF8) undefined (0xF7) half-precision floats (0xF9) break (0xFF) Parameters
  [in] | j | JSON value to serialize
  Returns CBOR serialization as byte vector Complexity Linear in the size of the JSON value j. Example The example shows the serialization of a JSON value to a byte vector in CBOR format. 1 #include <iostream> 2 #include <iomanip> 3 #include <nlohmann/json.hpp> 4 5 using json = nlohmann::json; 6 7 int main() 8 { 9 // create a JSON value 10 json j = R"({"compact": true, "schema": 0})"_json; 11 12 // serialize it to CBOR 13 std::vector<uint8_t> v = json::to_cbor(j); 14 15 // print the vector content 16 for (auto& byte : v) 17 { 18 std::cout << "0x" << std::hex << std::setw(2) << std::setfill('0') << (int)byte << " "; 19 } 20 std::cout << std::endl; 21 } Output (play with this example online):
      0xa2 0x67 0x63 0x6f 0x6d 0x70 0x61 0x63 0x74 0xf5 0x66 0x73 0x63 0x68 0x65 0x6d 0x61 0x00
  The example code above can be translated with
      g++ -std=c++11 -Isingle_include doc/examples/to_cbor.cpp -o to_cbor
